Prime Minister Award
‘ Being a steward of creation’, ‘trying your best’, ‘speaking with kindness’ and ‘ being a responsible learner’ are some of the qualities that teachers consider when awarding ‘Prime Minister’ at our weekly assembly. It is an acknowledgement of the student’s efforts and they have the privilege of wearing the badge with honour, of suggesting a focus the school can work on, award Gotchas to other students at lunch time as well as earning Gotchas for themselves. Congratulations to Nicole Jordan (Week 8).
Welcome
Another warm welcome to 2 new students at our school. Lexie Van Der Merwe and Isak Van Der Merwe have joined us in Year 6 and Year 4. We hope that you and your family enjoy being part of our St Joseph’s community.
Thank you to all of our parents for continuing to support us in following the protocols in place due to COVID 19.
At the moment we are still advised that:
- Parents need to continue to drop off and pick up their students from outside the school gate. Please do not come into the school to collect your child or drop them off. We are asking that you do not come in to the grounds to drop your child off at their classroom in the morning. This is a strong recommendation from the Australian Health Protection Principal Committee.
- If you do need to enter the school grounds, can you please contact the office first?
- If your child is sick, even a little bit, please keep them at home. Any child that presents unwell at school will be sent home.
- Please send a water bottle with your child, we are not able to use the bubblers at the moment.
Your support in this matter is really appreciated. Hopefully by next term things will be a little bit more back to normal and I will keep you informed as restrictions ease.
Uniform Focus - Sports Uniform
Thank you for your continued support of our school uniform. Please be reminded that the only tracksuit pants permitted on sports day are Midford Microfibre Tracksuit pants which are available from the school office ($30). Our sport uniform also consists of a
navy blue polo shirt with gold trim (with school logo), navy Midford shorts(boys) or tailored shorts (girls), sport shoes with short (above the ankle - not anklets) white socks. If a student is unable to wear the correct uniform, please provide a note.
